In the early 1960’s before the Beatles and the Mersey sound took over the UK charts, the pop music in Britain consisted of rockers like Cliff Richard and Adam Faith. Joe Brown was a little more edgy with a cheeky grin who also made a few films including “Hat A Crazy World”. Joe Brown still continues with great success to perform to-day.
